Ah, I misspoke. I meant prjeddie. prjeddie kind of endorsed YOLOv4. Did he endorse YOLOv5?
Although YOLOv4 isn't anything new achitecture-wise, it tried all the tricks in the book on the existing YOLO architecture to increase its speed performance, and its method and experiment results were published as a paper; it provided value to humanity.
YOLOv5 seemed to have taken the YOLO name to seemingly only to increase the startup name value without giving much(it did appear to provided YOLOv3 Pytorch implementation, but that's before taking YOLOv5 name) back. I wonder how prjeddie would think of YOLOv5.

Despite that, there was still a lot of controversy over the decision to call it v4.
See that thread for the discussion on v5 and you can make your own judgement.
